Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 1

In a beautifully decorated, dreamy room, an eighteen-year-old-looking girl sat in front of the mirror. She raised her hand and fiercely pinched her smooth, fair cheek.

“Hiss… It really hurts… So this isn’t a dream…” The person in the mirror showed an expression of disbelief, her delicate and beautiful face slightly twisting.

Looking at the first-place art award beside the mirror with the large characters “Dai Shi Yuan” written on it, the girl’s eyes flashed with confusion.

The name on the certificate was the same as hers, but this face was completely different.

Big eyes, a pointed chin, and skin so flawless it looked like it could break with a breath—she couldn’t help but sigh, “Being young is really nice.”

She had already graduated and worked for two years, yet she had suddenly become an eighteen-year-old girl who appeared to be from a wealthy family.

For a moment, Dai Shi Yuan felt completely dazed, unsure whether she should feel lucky or terrified.

She remembered she had been crossing the road when a car suddenly appeared and sent her flying. The speed was so fast that she didn’t even have time to feel pain before she lost consciousness.

She thought she would wake up in a hospital, but instead, she found herself in this strange and bizarre environment.

The room was filled with expensive-looking Barbie dolls, along with various luxury brand clothes and bags.

Every item looked extremely costly—far beyond what her previous salary could afford.

Dai Shi Yuan slapped her forehead, closed her eyes for a few seconds to calm herself, then let out a heavy sigh.

Looking out the window, she saw a huge lawn and an outdoor swimming pool.

This was the standard setup of a luxurious villa.

In her line of sight, she could see a woman in a dress watering the flowers.

The woman had her back to her, so her face wasn’t visible.

After watching for a while, Dai Shi Yuan quietly closed the window.

After scanning the room, she finally spotted a phone on the bed.

Her heart jumped with joy. Without thinking about why the phone model looked so outdated, she quickly grabbed it and dialed her own number.

“The number you have dialed is not in service…”

“Not in service?” Dai Shi Yuan frowned. She confirmed the number and dialed again, but the result was the same.

She grew more puzzled and a little panicked. She then tried calling her boss and colleagues, but every single number was out of service.

This realization made Dai Shi Yuan’s brows furrow even tighter. She gripped the phone in frustration, her youthful face full of anxiety.

Suddenly, her eyes landed on the date displayed on the screen: July 20, 2010. Dai Shi Yuan’s heart jolted, nearly causing her to drop the phone.

She had… gone back ten years?

And transmigrated into a rich family?

This guess struck her like a bolt of lightning, leaving her mind completely blank. She felt utterly thrown into chaos.

Such a bizarre thing—she had only seen it on TV before. Now it was actually happening to her!

She needed a moment to process this…

After staring blankly for a while, Dai Shi Yuan put down the phone and got up to look around the room. She unexpectedly found a notebook.

She opened it and saw that the first page was filled with a single person’s name.

Staring at that strange yet familiar name for a long time, Dai Shi Yuan’s pupils shrank, and an even more absurd thought surfaced in her mind.

She seemed to have transmigrated into a book…

She had just finished reading this book after a colleague recommended it. It was a melodramatic, abusive story about a wealthy family full of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts.

At the beginning, the female lead was looked down upon by the male lead’s family. She was misunderstood, bullied, and suffered all kinds of grievances and torment. In the end, thanks to her own kindness and hard work, she finally gained acceptance.

However, the male lead’s younger sister (the little sister-in-law) had a miserable ending. In the early stages, she constantly schemed and harmed the female lead. Later, she was bullied and slapped by the female lead, scolded by the entire family, and basically became a hated rat that everyone wanted to beat.

The female lead forgave everyone who had bullied her—except this little sister-in-law. In the end, she “upheld justice by eliminating her own relative” and sent the little sister-in-law to prison.

Before she even reached prison, the girl went mad, ran onto the road, and was hit by a car and killed.

And the name of this vicious little sister-in-law was exactly the same as hers!

Dai Shi Yuan’s heart trembled, and her expression turned serious.

She didn’t want to be hit by a car again…

She didn’t want to die…

Dai Shi Yuan pressed her temples, suppressed the panic in her heart, and continued flipping through the notebook. The more she read, the more confused she became.

There were no diary entries in the notebook—only the same name written over and over again.

It was clear the writer had used a lot of force; many pages were torn through by the pen.

Between the lines, one could feel the deep resentment the writer held toward this name.

On the very last page, there was only one sentence:

“Shan Yaxin, even if you become my sister-in-law, one day, I will drive you out!”

Seeing the word “sister-in-law,” Dai Shi Yuan’s eyes widened abruptly. Her fingers trembled slightly, and the last trace of hope in her heart was completely shattered.

She could now confirm that she had transmigrated into this melodramatic, abusive wealthy-family novel!

And she had become the miserable little sister-in-law with the tragic ending!

Just thinking about her future fate made Dai Shi Yuan feel panicked.

She didn’t want to die. She wanted to live well…

Dai Shi Yuan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

After sitting and thinking for a while, a clever idea struck her—she began destroying the evidence.

This notebook absolutely could not be seen by anyone, especially not the female lead, or her ending would definitely be miserable.

Her hands were sore from tearing, but she finally destroyed all the evidence.

Dai Shi Yuan rubbed her aching neck and arms. A smile appeared on her delicate face.

She remembered that her current identity had just finished the college entrance exam. In September, she would become a university student.

As long as she chose a university outside the province and stayed far away from the female lead, never seeing each other again, she should be able to avoid the tragedy.

Dai Shi Yuan’s heart fluttered with excitement at this smart plan. Her eyes sparkled like they were filled with starlight.

The college application booklet was under her pillow, with several places marked in red.

Dai Shi Yuan checked it. The universities circled in red were all local. She decisively abandoned those choices.

A beautiful new chapter in life should begin by staying far away from the female lead.

The farther, the better.

Dai Shi Yuan smiled happily, the corners of her lips curling up. She seriously selected several very distant universities—the kind where she wouldn’t be able to come home even once a year.

Just as she was feeling excited about this decision, a knocking sound came from the door.

The smile on Dai Shi Yuan’s lips froze. Her eyes blinked innocently.

She didn’t know who was outside. More importantly, what if someone realized this body had been replaced?

Thinking about the possibility of being discovered, Dai Shi Yuan’s eyes flashed as she quickly tried to think of a countermeasure.

After thinking for a while, she still couldn’t come up with a good solution.

The knocking continued, like a death knell, striking her heart again and again.

Dai Shi Yuan’s heart pounded wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Her hands unconsciously gripped the booklet tightly, and her small face was tense.

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing a fair, smooth arm.

Dai Shi Yuan’s pupils shrank, and she subconsciously held her breath.

The thick college application booklet slipped from her hands and fell to the ground with a loud “thud,” especially clear in the quiet room.

Dai Shi Yuan’s mind went blank for a moment. She watched as the door was slowly pushed open, revealing a beautiful, gentle face.

Perhaps it was her imagination, but those gentle, water-like eyes seemed to flash with a trace of coldness.

“Ah-choo…” Dai Shi Yuan suddenly sneezed. Goosebumps rose on her slender arms for no reason.

“Xiao Yuan, have some fruit. Don’t rush with your college choices—you can take your time. Also, don’t set the air conditioner so low in the room, you’ll catch a cold.” The person’s voice was very gentle, like clear water dripping, somewhat ethereal, and carried a light, smiling tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman entered the room. The clothes she wore were exactly the same as the ones Dai Shi Yuan had seen downstairs earlier.

Dai Shi Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her arms vigorously, finally feeling a bit of warmth.

This person was so polite and kind to her—she must be a servant of the family.

“Thank you, just leave it there.” Dai Shi Yuan smiled relaxedly, revealing two cute little dimples.

“Alright.” The woman smiled gently and placed the fruit plate on the bedside table.

After doing so, she didn’t leave. Instead, she bent down to pick up the college application booklet on the floor and said with a smile, “Xiao Yuan, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. Sister-in-law is a teacher and has experience with this.”

Dai Shi Yuan’s smile instantly froze. Her expression turned stiff, as if she had heard something terrifying.

This gentle and harmless-looking woman was actually the female lead?!

The woman standing in front of her was beautiful and graceful. The curve of her smiling lips was extremely gentle, and her words were warm and friendly, even carrying a bit of indulgent coaxing as if speaking to a child.

Yet for some reason, Dai Shi Yuan seemed to hear a threatening undertone in that clear, ethereal voice.

Dai Shi Yuan sensed danger. She unconsciously shrank back, and a wave of goosebumps swept over her, chilling her to the bone.

In the end, this gentle, water-like woman would ruthlessly send her to prison. No matter how much she cried and begged, this person would never let her go.

Scenes of that terrifying future kept replaying in Dai Shi Yuan’s mind. Her heartbeat became violently out of control again.

She didn’t hear a single word the person in front of her was saying. Her mind was filled with her own miserable ending.

She didn’t want to be locked up in prison…

She didn’t want to go crazy and get hit by a car…

Suddenly, a hand reached toward her, as if it wanted to drag her into hell.

Dai Shi Yuan instinctively retreated on the bed, widened her eyes, and shouted, “Don’t come over!”

The hand really stopped. Dai Shi Yuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, that hand gently touched her forehead.

Dai Shi Yuan’s whole body instantly tensed up, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

“Xiao Yuan, you seem to have a slight fever…” Shan Yaxin’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, her voice extremely gentle. “I’ll go get you some medicine.”

With that, she withdrew her hand and stood up, preparing to leave the room.

“Hiss…” Dai Shi Yuan suddenly scrunched up her small face, letting out a pained sound from her pale lips.
